Rev Limit Chapter 2

The next week, at Rip Tide Superspeedway...

"Ok, Sandy. You've got the hang of this boat, right?" asks Seth.

"Of course, don't worry about me." Sandy responds.

"Ok, just making sure."

"Well, I have to get ready to race. See ya!"

"Later! Good luck!"

"Thanks!"

In Spongebob's motorhome...

[On the TV]

"Welcome all, to Rip Tide Superspeedway. One of the fastest courses on the circuit today! The big story going into today's race, is the replacement driver for the #46, previously driven by Spongebob Squarepants. Not only is the driver another first-timer, but this driver is also making history today, as the first female driver ever to run in the series! Flap Stevens is down on pit road with her right now. Flip?"

"Thanks, Rich! I'm here with Sandy Cheeks, the replacement driver for KKR. Sandy, how does it feel to be the first female driver to ever run in the Kelpo Cup?"

"Well, Flip, I wish this historic moment would have come from better circumstances."

"I agree. So, how's the boat for today's race? I heard there was a special agreement this week with a new sponsorship deal. Could you tell the viewers about this agreement?"

"Yes, there's a new look this week on our #46 boat. This week, KKR struck a full season agreement with Dr. Kelp soda. They'll be the primary sponsor for 6 races, and the secondary sponsor for the other races. This race is one of the 6 primary races for Dr. Kelp. This boat also shows off my driving attitude. If you look here on the rear, you'll see that it says "Don't mess with Texas!" In case you don't know, that's where I'm from. So, message to other drivers, don't mess with me on the track, or you'll be messing with Texas!"

"Well put. Back to you, Rich!"

"Thanks, Flip! Let's check out the stats of the track that the 43 drivers will be running on today!" The screen shows a map of the track. "From the start/finish line, the drivers will go into the high banking of turn 1, and follow through turn 2, before reaching the long backstretch. Then, the boats will approach turn 3 at nearly 200 miles per hour! Historically, at this track, there's been a really high tendency for "The Big One". Every race, for the last 7 years, 2 races a year, at least 24 cars were taken out of contention in this huge wreck. Then, if they make it through turn 3, they'll go into turn 4, and into the tri-oval. But, remember, the start/finish line is between the tri-oval and turn 1, so they have to go through the tri-oval before crossing the line. That's where we've had some spectacular finishes over the years!"

Spongebob turns the TV off and gets ready to go to pit road, to cheer Sandy on.

"There you are, boy! Where have you been?" Mr. Krabs asks.

"In the motorhome, preparing."

"Ok, how's your arm?" Mr. Krabs asks, pointing to the one part of Spongebob's body that hasn't healed yet.

"Very sore, sir."

"Well, take a seat. The race is about to begin."

He sits, and looks down, to the front row, where the black and red #46 Dr. Kelp boat sits, in first place, again.

"Make sure you keep her out of trouble, Squidward."

"Don't worry, Spongebob. I've got it all under control."

"You don't understand, turn 3 is a DEMON to race boats!!!"

"So, I'm sure she can drive her way through any wreck, even "The Big One".

"Ok, but I'm warning you."

"Calm down, boy. She'll be fine."

"I hope you're right, sir."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Start your engines!!!"

End Chapter 2

Author's notes: I know, this chapter is a bit short. But, don't worry, chapter 3 is going to be so epic, you'll be on the edge of wherever you're sitting (I hope)! Don't forget to review!
